A collection of photographs by internationally renowned photographer Kike Arnal, Coraje seeks to push back against the transphobic caricatures that have perpetuated discrimination against the transgender community. Mexico has made some important advances in recognizing and protecting the rights of its transgender community. Mexico City, for instance, has legislated against hate crimes targeting transgender people. But discrimination still persists, and the majority of the often appallingly violent attacks against the LGBT community are against transgender women. In the highly personal profiles that make up Coraje , Arnal looks at seven individuals in and around Mexico City--many of them transactivists working in HIV-prevention--including the first transgender couple to be married in Mexico, a mother, and one of its most high-profile transgender entertainers. It shows them going about their day-to-day lives: getting ready in the morning, in loving, supportive relationships, and devoting their lives to helping others in the transgender community. Moving in its honesty, sensitive and humane, Coraje challenges society's preconceived notions of sexuality, gender, and beauty, not only in Mexico but across the globe.
